In 1815 Campbell went on to command the 54th (or the West Norfolk) Regiment of Foot, serving at the Battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambray. Promoted Major-General in 1825, he was appointed Governor of Sierra Leone, where he died of fever in 1827. Oil on canvas Date: 1815.

EDITORS COMMENTS

Major (later Major-General) Sir Neil Campbell CB (1776-1827), 1815" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned French artist Edouard Henri Pingret, depicting the Scottish military officer in his full regalia of the 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment of Foot. The painting, completed in 1819, captures Campbell in a thoughtful pose, gazing through a telescope with a backdrop of gunsmoke and a windmill, possibly representing the battlefield of Waterloo. Sir Neil Campbell's military career was marked by both controversy and triumph. In 1814, he was chosen by the British Government to accompany Napoleon Bonaparte to the island of Elba, with the responsibility of ensuring his exile. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Napoleon escaped in February 1815, and Campbell was widely criticized for his role in the incident. Although he was not officially blamed, the public sentiment held him responsible, and the label "The man who let Boney go" followed him. Undeterred, Campbell continued his military service, commanding the 54th Regiment at the Battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambray. In 1825, he was promoted to Major-General and appointed Governor of Sierra Leone, where he tragically died of fever in 1827. This evocative painting encapsulates the complex and intriguing history of Sir Neil Campbell, a military figure whose legacy remains a subject of fascination and debate. The intricate details of his uniform, the ominous backdrop of gunsmoke, and the sense of introspection in his expression all contribute to a compelling visual narrative that invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of Campbell's remarkable military career.
